Some of my favorite parties to host aren’t birthday parties at all — they’re parties for special days and milestones. There’s less pressure with these, which means more room to get creative. I’ve thrown a back to school party for my girls every year, including the...
If you’re thinking about hosting a Christmas cookie decorating party for kids, I’ve got loads of tips for you. (You also may want to grab my Christmas Cookie Decorating Party Plan for all my tried-and-true strategies.) We host this party every year and have learned...
Each Christmas season, we host a small Christmas cookie decorating party. It’s become an annual tradition that we really look forward to. Over the years we've found ways to make this party a lot easier to pull off, so I’m sharing my best cookie decorating party tips...
Are you as in love with the pink Halloween trend as I am? I think a pink Halloween party would be perfect for an October birthday or pre-trick or treating. What better way to get your kids to eat a little dinner before the big night than by making it sweetly spooky?...
Ya'll, I guess I can kiss the SEO ranking on this post goodbye, because NO ONE is going to be Googling "Dolly Parton + Weather Birthday Party for Twins." But, this is the reality of birthday parties for twins! Honestly, I'm just glad my kids haven't said they are too...
Our annual Christmas cookie decorating party is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. We've hosted this party for 10 years now (I think) and I will admit: it gets easier as the girls get older and can contribute more to the party prep! But, I'd encourage you...
There’s nothing my girls love more during the Christmas holiday then curling up with some snacks and watching Christmas movies. Whether it’s childhood favorites or a Hallmark Christmas movie marathon, we are here for the Christmas movies. And while nobody needs...
If the 4th of July is hot as Hades where you live, like it is here in Georgia, you’re thinking about indoor Independence Day celebration ideas. I love outdoor 4th of July party styling as much as the next girl, but I can’t with the heat. So, my girls and I came up...
Anyone who’s hosted any kind of party knows that the cost can add up quick! That’s why it’s so important to have a budget in mind when you’re planning your party. The budget gives you guardrails: they keep you from driving off the road! So how much does it cost to...
I spent most of Mother's Day in pajamas, binging Law & Order SVU. Which was actually an excellent way to spend Mother's Day; highly recommend. Anyway, I was completely fried from hosting my twin daughters' high school graduation open house party the day before....
Like everyone else, I fell hard for the flocked bunnies when they appeared in boutiques last year or so. But I was a good girl and didn't splurge so I JUMPED on the knock-off bunnies when they came to WalMart this spring. (I think Michael's Arts & Crafts also...
Party inspiration can come from just about anywhere, and for this Let’s Go Fly a Kite Party, it came from cute diamond-shaped plates from Pickytarian. These plates are super-sturdy, sustainably made and compostable. So you can feel really good about using easy...
When my twins started daycare, there was an assistant teacher in the two-year-old room who quickly became a family favorite. Miss Stephanie also moonlighted as our babysitter and later as my party assistant. And now, she and her husband Greg are expecting their first...
Do your kids ever have trouble choosing a birthday party theme? This year, as my twin daughters’ 17th birthday approached, they could NOT agree on a theme. They finally hit on the idea of a disco birthday party, which was an idea I’d never would have come up with for...
My best rule for party styling is: use what you have. That's just what I did for this bunnies and bows Easter tablescape: I leaned into what I already own and only bought a few new items. Here's hoping this Easter tablescape will inspire you to create your own lovely...
Each year since the girls were elementary-school age, we've decorated Christmas cookies with their godmother. We've tried this a variety of ways — including baking and decorating in the same day (whew! don't do it!) — and I think we've finally got Christmas cookies...
I've wanted to host a pie baking party for my daughters and their friends for a few years now. This party was delayed when Baby A got sick and then again when Covid hit last year. So we were awfully excited to finally get to host our Friendsgiving Pie Party. The idea...
Back in September, I published an early Halloween candy table and now that Halloween is almost here, I wanted to try the same idea in a second style. Mainly, I wanted to play with my posable skeleton. Here's how to style a Halloween candy table, skeleton style. The...
